Cellist Marie-Aline Cadieux specializes in chamber music performance, and may be heard as a member of Duo Terlano with her husband, violinist Johannes Dietrich, with SATORI, the Allentown-based chamber ensemble, and with the Dela’Art Trio, in residence at Lebanon Valley College, as well as in her own solo recitals.  She has performed across Europe, but has become an established presence in the Central and Eastern Pennsylvania music scene since moving to the area in 1999.

Having served for many years as Principal Cellist for the Illinois Symphony and Illinois Chamber Orchestra, as well as festival orchestras including those at Aspen, the Blossom Music Festival, and Great Music West, traveling Broadway shows, and dance companies such as the Mark Morris Dance Group, she brings extensive knowledge of all styles of orchestral playing to her students, many of whom have gone on to win competitions and auditions.  In addition, she has toured extensively with the Kirkland Trio, and performed with the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra. 

She was a finalist in the Chicago Symphony/Rose Faye Thomas Competition, a fellowship award recipient at the Bach Aria Festival on Long Island NY, and has received numerous teaching awards.          

Ms. Cadieux received her Master of Music Degree and also her Graduate Certificate in Performance from Northwestern University where she studied with master teacher Hans Jorgen Jensen. She earned her Doctor of Musical Arts at Ohio State University, under the tutelage of  William Conable. Other influences include Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, Ko Iwasaki, Harvey Shapiro, Janos Starker, and Menahem Pressler.

Physically healthy playing and authentic, personal musicianship are the goals of her teaching, which she supports with a background in Alexander Technique and a thorough knowledge of performance styles from the Baroque era to the present.
